It is only a poor sort of happiness that could ever come by caring very much about our own pleasures. We can only have the highest happiness such as goes along with being a great man, by having wide thoughts and much feeling for the rest of the world as well as ourselves.

Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.

Virginia Woolf

Because women can do nothing except love, they've given it a ridiculous importance. They want to persuade us that it's the whole of life. It's an insignificant part.

W. Somerset Maugham

Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.

Aristotle

Those of you who have been there Haiti know it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It has everything. It has everything above the ground, and everything under the ground. It is an amazing place. I strongly recommend that whenever you get a chance, if you havent been there, that you go to Haiti. I think it was a certain Queen of England who said that after her death Calais would be found written on her heart. When I die, I think that Haiti is going to be written on my heart.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

Arne Jacobsen

Oh you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

No doubt another may also think for me; but it is not therefore desirable that he should do so to the exclusion of my thinking for myself

Henry David Thoreau

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

Sylvester Stallone

Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity.

Sigmund Freud

An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it.

Maurice Maeterlinck

Women are half the population and they know how to take care of themselves, if they are only given access to health care.

Cynthia Nixon

No wise person should make known the loss of fortune, any malpractice in their house, his being cheated, or having been disgraced.
